I found 2. Nearest I could tell it had more than 8 legs. If that means anything. The only thing I've added recently is copepods.

Sure looks like one. Animals like this come into your tank as larval animals. Generally on frags and corals purchased from stores or frag swaps. Sea spiders are really bad as they have a rep of being hard to kill. I have had friend get them in their store holding systems. An they had to take it all down as bleach the system to get rid of them. Love to eat coral.

Wow. Something to look forward to.
